Being married to that must be unbearable. No advice, just sorry.

Sounds good, no politics rule on house visits. Quite mature. Why aren’t you considering it? Schools have it.

I don’t bring up politics to him. However, I don’t like the implication that he can tell me what to watch in his house, and also dictate what is spoken in my house.

In addition, I am deeply disturbed by the fact that he dismisses my hatred of trump as political, when it’s not, and frames the nature of our conflict as a political one. It’s not, I’m moderate, and it’s about character and morals. The fact that he can so vehemently defend his support of trump is appalling to me. He demonizes my views, tells me to stifle them, when in reality, he’s the one who should be ashamed of who he supports and what that represents.

Listen, I hate trump as much as you, but you need to cool it.

You FIL has every right to dictate what station is on in his house.

The "no politics" request is just that, a request. And it's a good one actually, for all concerned.

You know what his politics are and yet you tuned into CNN in his house, that tells him (and the rest of us) that you don't shy away from conflict. Hence his need for the request.

People like you are going to be hilarious in 2024 when Trump is elected again. Keep thinking it's just politics

I'm not sure you can be certain you aren't married to that your FIL feels comfortable acting up and your DH has said nothing... think about it

Of course it's not just politics. It's white supremacy/racism, sexism, and homophobia - at the very least a lack of human decency and compassion for those different from yourself.

This is two sided, however - you cannot dictate what channel is being watched in someone else's home, and they cannot dictate "no politics" in your home. Tell them to feel free not to come.

Yes, fair. DH is an unenthusiastic Biden voter who probably would not have voted at all if I didn’t care. Doesn't support trump, thinks he’s an idiot, but is not as incited as I’d hope on moral grounds. Could be better, could be worse. He basically thinks his dad is older and isn’t going to change so there’s no point in trying.

Also, to be clear, he was supposed to be taking a nap. I did not consider CNN particularly liberal until it was made so by Fox News over the past four years, and I was not watching commentary. Was watching Biden address the nation after RBGs passing, and the rest of DHs family, including his mother, was watching with me.

Is that what you nutters are banking on now? I thought he has this election won, once they count all the legal votes and throw out the illegal votes.

"People like me?" You mean moderates who can see when things get overheated?

Stop eating our own would be a good place to start if we were to keep the orange and his ilk out of power.

Nah. Someone more competent will be appealing to the same base. It’ll be someone like Ted Cruz, except smart enough not to act like a McCarthy-wannabe.

On the other hand, Republicans do like to elect short-bus presidents: Reagan, W, Trump. Ok, yeah, they’ll vote an indicted, bankrupt, disgraced Trump back into office.

Send him to a non-partisan fact checking site, like factcheck.org

They call out all the lies, regardless of political persuasion.

It's not your fault that Trump just happens to lie more than any other human being, or that 98.7% of those associated with Fox double as pond scum

TL/DR
I despise Trump and am a life-long Democrat. But I can't bear to listen to CNN either. It's just as annoying as Fox, but less evil. I ask my husband not to watch CNN in the living room if he can help it.
